God made me for a reason and nothing is in vain. Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain. Oh sweet Jesus if you're listening,
keep me ever close to you, As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm travelin' thru. -Dolly Parton

i heart

Just got home from the struggle that was the grocery store this afternoon. It turns out that I'm not the only one who procrastinated with my holiday shopping! But I did pass by this and think...my thoughts exactly! I heart french onion dip. I am thankful for french onion dip. Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!

turkey d a y

Can ya'll believe that Thanksgiving is next week? I'm in shock. It dawned on me ten minutes ago. I am going to be spending time with some friends and their family who always come to NYC to feast and go to the parade. Very excited! But I want to bring something... So I started brainstorming. Then I thought, wouldn't it be cute to bring cupcakes that look like turkeys? Off to google I went to find some ideas. "I know someone has had this thought before me." And I was right.

How adorable?

These are legit. But boy do they look complicated.

These have personality!

I like coconut! Nice touch.

Well, it looks like I have my work cut out for me. Better get started soon. Like I'm not a procrastinator. Ha.

mia michaels

So today, on my day off, I found myself watching back through old SYTYCD routines on youtube, and decided that a tribute to Mia is well overdue. Her work is so unique in the way that it moves a dancer's body across the stage, but also how the movements correlate with the music choice. It is so moving to me that I decided to do my own little top three favorite "Mia Moments". Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

1. duh.


2. yes.


3. i'm out of my chair. flitting around my apartment. probably pulling muscles.
